A week later.

The morning started like every other since I got here. Wake, breakfast, then leave for some unknown reason. Honestly, I can't understand why they don't wonder where I go every day. Well, the answer to that is simple: I go around and terrorize small villages with my book. Except now I can't today, because Twilight wants me to be more "social". Problem is, I don't want to socialize with these vile creatures, I just want to hurry up and get to the part where I betray them. Alas, I'll never have an opportunity to do so if Twilight keeps pestering me about making friends, or some other dumb social norm. Therefor, I suppose it is in my best interest to just learn about this dumb town and it's inhabitants. Who knows, I maybe able to use this to my advantage. So now, I am on my way to town hall to be properly introduced to these saps. Celestia was going to announce my existence to the world here (discussing no details, of course). So I stopped by rarity's to pick up a suit. The patterns on my suit looked just like the ones on my armor. As I and the girls arrived behind stage, I dropped my *AC (I was invisible whenever in public).
"I see you have mastered an strange form of invisibility, Fjord." Celestia said.
"It's Active Camouflage. It makes me transparent. But to the attentive eye, a distortion can be seen." I said.
"I see. You look nice by the way." She replied.
"Thanks." I said.
"So are you ready to be introduced?" Celestia asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be. Fair warning, the town crazy's probably gonna jump up on stage and make a fool of herself." I said
"I doubt that." Celestia said.
"You wanna bet?" I asked.
"Two million bits says you are wrong, Fjord." She said.
"My soul says otherwise." I wagered.
"Deal." She said. I was going to walk away a rich man. Celestia walked through the curtains and began the ceremony while I cast a scrying spell I found earlier.
"Visialus tempus" I said as visions formed. In the visions I saw Lyra making a fool of herself. blinking away the visions, I heard Celestia's speech.
"Now please welcome, Fjord the human." Celestia said (she only said human to prevent unease). The curtains parted and I stepped forward in my southern casuals and looked out over the crowd.
"Greetings, I am Fjord the human." I said.

"I KNEW IT!" Lyra shouted. She teleported on stage. "I KNEW HE WAS REAL! YOU ALL LAUGHED AT ME AND CALLED ME CRAZY! YOU ALL SAID 'THEIR'S NO SUCH THING AS A HAIRLESS MONKEY IN TWILIGHT'S LIBRARY!', BUT I WAS RIGHT! NOW WHO'S LAUGHING?" She ranted.
"All of society for one." I said.
"Bu-but." she began.
"No 'buts', being right does not give you a reason to humiliate yourself." I said.
"Okay." she said and teleported off stage, head hung low.
"Now, distractions aside, I am Fjord the human." I said. "If you expected a grandiose introduction, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. But I will speak a little about myself; In my youth I have trained in many forms of martial arts, as my family has always served in the army. Take heed and know my home is not blessed with the peace your lands have. thankfully my training is not restricted to mundane or violent practices, I do have some manner of practical magical knowledge. I'm afraid that's all there is to me, I never really was a social man." I said concluding my saddening lies. I walked off stage and cast my AC spell. The paparazzi was going to be on my ass like white on rice tomorrow, and it was going to long day. A very long day.
